FWW...before you put your wheels back on lube the hubs liberally with anti-seize compound as well put some around the wheel hub surfaces and inner face of the spinner. This will help prevent galling between dissimilar metals and/or heat ie brake heat during track events.

Use a 6lb lead hammer and just snug the wheels while on the jackstands, once on the ground then give each spinner a good whack or two, once you've done the on/off thing a couple of times you'll be able to hear/sense when the spinners are tight.

Every time before you drive the car take your hammer and rap the spinners on all wheels, not a pile-driver hit just a solid tap.

Remember "tight a$$" to tighten(toward the rear of the car), "loose goose" to loosen(toward the front of the car).

Safety wire on the spinner ears is a good idea also if you don't have them already.

Hi all. Just enjoying the last of the sunshine here before winter sets in.

At 18c (66F) and sunny it's real driving weather - hat and jacket.

..roof off and cruising in the neighbours '32 roadster.

Gee Bernie, I thought you were coming here in the next week or two. Good way to avoid Aussie Winter.

Hope to see you at the London show.

With all you not having rain, It rained all afternoon yesterday. So, you all have to have rain, so I can get some sun ( got to love the logic of that ).

post pics, MikeZZZZ

what a nice Friday. Moody boy and I bought all the nonperishables for his campout, yesterday afternoon. I guess I'll get the perishables this morning. No ball games tonight.
Ballet recital tomorrow at 3:30, then off to double header ballgames- 6 and 8. Sunday more of the same. baseball and ballet.

I'm hoping to sneak in a couple of hours of scrapbooking tonight!
If not, then I guess I can start scraping off the paint on the tires.

I head over on the 16th to LAX and then down to Phoenix, AZ to catch up with Hershal there. Then to London, Ohio..

I'm expecting Wayne (wtcobra's) son over on the 2nd of June. We will do some touring around Adelaide, Melbourne and the Sydney area for two weeks prior to me leaving for the States...

I spent some time with Wayne at the 'Run N Gun' and his son Mark was keen to get across to Australia.

So once again very little work being done here..

Cheers

Bernie

Whew this was a busy morning.

The kids last day of school was today. They played all morning and had awards. (2nd and 5th graders)( now 3rd and 6th) Thew had a play time outside. I was incharge of getting them all wet. Boy was that fun. I soaked every single one of them and some of the teachers and parents as well. Really fun morning.

We leave for Yellowstone on Monday.

I am taking notes here. we are on page 222, 3325 replies. 29827 views (wow) on Friday 5-20-05.
That way I can catch up when we return.

I'll check in before we leave though.

Steve, your thinking San Diego not the desert. Low 73 high 104 today and up to 112 by Sunday. Not so great driving weather at mid afternoon. Evenings are still great though.

Its about 78* here outside now. Nice comfortable breeze.

I would rather drive in the cold than the heat anytime. Love Wisconsin this time of year. Drove up in the mountains up to Julian one year and there was still snow on the ground. Had a sweatshirt and light jacket and was the first time I ever wore driving gloves.
